False prophet and war instigated Karl Rove gave Obama a usual “F” for an unusually exceptional speech, defending his foreign policy. Rove explains that we should have stayed in Iraq. Really? So let me get this straight, we should have stayed in an illegal…

Is onetime Republican political maven Karl Rove too transparent for his or his party’s own good? As I noted here, Rove was back to his old tricks recently in masterfully conducting the new and old media orchestras when he made charge he could later…

Now, the last Democratic governor to serve Alabama is speaking up for himself, in a statement he’s furnished to The BRAD BLOG from federal prison, slamming DeLay for what he describes as his part in a $20 million criminal conspiracy with convicted GOP uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Karl Rove, Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist and others to defeat him in his bid for re-election, and to ensure he never took office again.

Siegelman is currently serving a 6.5 year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Oakdale, Louisiana for something that 113 bi-partisan former state attorneys general agree had never been regarded as a crime until Siegelman was convicted for it. (Watch 60 Minutes’ 2008 story on Siegelman’s outrageous prosecution here.)

In his statement, the former governor speaks out against “The Hammer” and hammers him hard for what he describes as collusion to “engineer a money laundering scheme to defeat me in my race for re-election as governor and to elect Karl Rove’s and Tom DeLay’s Republican colleague from the U.S. House, then Congressman Bob Riley.”

“I know first-hand, personally — what I’m about to tell you is not hearsay,” Siegelman writes about the alleged scheme to remove him from office through a late night ballot tampering scheme. He explains how the conspiracy resulted in robbing him of his 2002 re-election after it had already been called in his favor by all the networks. Later, before Siegelman — the only person to hold all four top statewide offices in Alabama history — could run for Governor again, he says the same cabal worked to have him thrown in jail on what appear to be trumped up charges brought by a Bush Administration prosecutor who also happened to be married to Riley’s Chief of Staff.

September 8, 2013- Fox News contributor Karl Rove repeated long-debunked falsehoods about the military response to the September 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.

During Fox News Sunday on September 8, a panel discussion turned to the upcoming anniversary of the attacks in Benghazi. During the segment, Rove falsely asserted that no military assets were ordered to assist the Americans under attack in Benghazi. Rove soon raised his voice and, over and over again, repeated his false claim that no help was sent to Benghazi.
